Cat i can borrow 4 smog?

Anyone in the bay area have a cat I can borrow? I have to smog soon(about 2 weeks). My cat went bad awhile back so I replaced it with a midpipe. Don't really want to buy one unless its super cheap. If someone is willing to let me borrow it that'd be great.

...Or if you know a smog place that will "take care of it" for me haha i dont mind paying a little bit more but depends on the price.

Live in millbrae. Let me know.
Thanks.

I guess you can make a wanted thread, and offer up a bit of cash to the person letting you borrow it. I think it would be a proper post and doesn't go against the rules, id post in both regional and overall classified. just to get the most views possible, cus i HARDLY ever look in the regional. GOOD LUCK.

The DIY will help as long as there is no sniffer test and they only check by the obd2 port. I don't know how California does it.

Basically you need to reset your cel and drive around until you have 1 test remaining to be completed(mine was for the o2 sensor.) In Nevada at least you can pass with 1 pending test, but I am guessing California is much more strict.

How often do you need to do smog tests?
Every year, every other year?

Might be worth dropping the cash and buying a new/used catalytic
